Health Care Reform in a Free Market - eBook

Product Description: Health Care Reform in a Free Market (Copyright Nov. 16, 2009) 

About Free Market Health Care:

• It is consumer-driven and - obviously - free market oriented.
• It utilizes Health Savings Accounts [HSA's], which reduce artificial demand and overutilization of services.
• It reduces insurance premiums dramatically, making health insurance more affordable.
• It will ultimately take the employer completely out of the insurance loop; changing jobs will no longer be a health care decision.
• It discusses Medicare liabilities and its reform.
• It explains why socialized medicine won't work and doesn't work.
• It shows that managed care breeds hostility and has nothing to do with free markets.
• It allows for insurance portability by redefining risk pools, separating them from employment.
• It distinguishes between insurance and prepayment plans.
• It explains how government has hurt health care delivery, and where it can help, when private charity is not available.
• It improves accessibility by lowering premiums and provider fees through the market, and by broadening tax deductions [or tax credits] to all purchasers of health insurance.
• It accommodates pre-existing conditions within large insurance risk pools that are employer-independent.
• It reduces physician overhead, which - in turn - lowers fees to the patient while simultaneously increasing provider profits - a "win-win" situation.
